[Hicham] Aboutaam notes, “There are people who collect both Classical and Near Eastern art, but not everybody does that. Those who like Near Eastern art in general, feel that it is historically and archeologically superior to Classical art. Those who collect Classical art like, from time to time, to go out of the Hellenized world boundaries and back to earlier periods in the same region, a few millennia earlier. So they play a game of moving back and forth.”

If you love to wander about art galleries then you should consider participating in this year’s upcoming third annual Madison Avenue Gallery Walk. This event, which will be taking place on Saturday, May 15, 2010, is a benefit for The Fund for Public Schools, which will use the monies raised to promote and support art education in the New York City public school system.

Included among the 50 participating galleries is Phoenix Ancient Art, whose New York branch, located at 47 East 66th Street, is right smack in the middle of this year’s event. Spanning the approximately one mile from East 57th Street to East 83rd Street, the Madison Avenue Gallery Walk will feature docent led tours of the galleries which will have speakers and programed discussions open to the public. Tours will take place every hour beginning at 11am, with the last tour scheduled to begin at 4pm.

There will also be a scavenger hunt in which families can compete in a fun way for 2 for the price of one discount tickets to the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Ali and Hicham Aboutaam, the brothers that preside over the Phoenix Ancient Art Gallery, are looking forward to a great day and hope to see you there.

Phoenix Ancient Art is a leading art dealership that specializes in the ancient world and antiquities that span cultures and centuries. Phoenix Ancient Art holds public showings at its two galleries, in New York and Geneva, featuring the most important and interesting pieces of art available to the public. Phoenix is under the proprietorship of brothers Ali Aboutaam and Hicham Aboutaam, who took over the business from their father and have made great strides in moving the business forward.

The two galleries that Phoenix Ancient Art maintains are prime venues for all – both the discerning art connoisseur who understands antiquities and the ancient world, as well as the man off the street who desires to step into the ancient worlds and civilizations that preceded our modern era. Hicham and Ali continue the fine Aboutaam family tradition, maintaining impeccable art exhibits and constantly refreshing gallery displays.
